to:

1.	Execute the following items (each a "Report" and,
collectively, the "Reports"), on my behalf and in my capacity
as a reporting person of Sunoco Partners LLC (the "Company"),
which Company is the general partner of Sunoco Logistics
Partners L.P. (the "Partnership"):

a.	Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any other report required
pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder; and

b.	Form 144 and any other similar report required
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and

2.	Perform any and all acts on my behalf which may
be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any Reports
and timely file such Reports with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission and/or any stock exchange or similar
authority; and

3.	Take any other action in connection with the foregoing
which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of
benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by the
undersigned, it being understood that any document executed by
such attorney-in-fact on my behalf pursuant to this Power of
Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in their
discretion.

I grant to each such attorneys-in-fact full power and authority
to do and perform any act necessary or proper to be done in the
exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as
fully to all intents and purposes as I might or could do if
personally present, with full power of substitution or
revocation.  I ratify and confirm all that such attorney-in-fact,
or any substitute of such attorney-in-fact, shall lawfully do
or cause to be done by the rights and powers granted by this
Power of Attorney.

I acknowledge that each such attorney-in-fact, in serving in

or the Partnership, assuming, any of my responsibilities to
comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect

Secretary of the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of
Attorney to be executed this 29th day of December, 2008.
